YOU Must not do these on a first date…DON’T…

1. Get so drunk or so tipsy that you can’t talk coherently or stand! Take responsibility for yourself and make sure you don’t drink alcohol on an empty stomach, or mix your drinks.

2. Smoke – unless your date is also a smoker, most men and women don’t enjoy kissing an ashtray, so if you want a kiss at the end of the night give the fags a miss.

3. Eat garlic; this is for the same reason as above. Your date won’t kiss you if you have smelly breath.

4. Order messy food, like spaghetti bolognaise as nerves and alcohol combined could result in a very messy date.

5. Belch,  pick your nose, spit, eat with your mouth open, and chew gum.

6. Fart – loud ones, silent but violent or any other shape or form. But the ultimate NO NO is….

Are you getting the idea of what not to do on the first date? Here’s some more…DON’T…

7. Say you want to meet their parents or start talking about marriage and babies. This goes for both men and women.

8. Talk about your exes, this will show you have baggage and haven’t moved on. Talking about exes is the most boring subject in the entire world. A 100% NO NO!

9. Take your kids with you, seems obvious but it’s happened.(Sid would run a mile if he saw his date with four kids in tow!) Don’t talk endlessly about your kids on a first date. Do mention you have them, but then move on.

10. Be a moaning git. First dates should be fun, not about listening to your problems whatever they are about.

11. Guys take note – ”You have amazing boobs!” is not appropriate first date dinner conversation. Also – Stop staring at them.(And drooling!) Try to make eye contact!

To summarize, first dates can be both a thrilling and nervous event. Be yourself, be curious and keep it light and cheerful. First dates are like job interviews – so be on your best behaviour!

There’s plenty more things you shouldn’t do on a first date – let me know any I’ve missed!? So I can do Part 2!
